On Call Consulting Services for Building Services: Plan Review and Staff Augmentation

The City of Burlingame is seeking qualified consulting firms to join an on‑call roster that will provide building‑permit plan‑review, inspection, permit‑technician, and staff‑augmentation services on an as‑needed basis. Selected firms will augment the Building Division’s internal staff, deliver timely code‑compliant reviews, perform field inspections, and support permit processing for a contract term of up to three years. • Services include full‑cycle plan review (code compliance, comment lists, re‑checks) with turnaround targets of 5‑10 business days. • Additional offerings cover building inspections, permit‑technician assistance, and on‑site staff augmentation (e.g., acting as Chief Building Official or senior plan reviewers). • Compensation is based on percentages of the City’s existing plan‑review fees plus negotiated hourly rates; overtime incurs a 30 % premium. • Firms must meet insurance minimums (e.g., $2 M General Liability) and demonstrate municipal building‑inspection experience.
